Man shoots down drone over his backyard spying on his teenage daughter gets arrested
Merideth, 47, lives in Hillview, Kentucky[url=http://www.wdrb.com/story/29650818/hillview-man-arrested-for-shooting-down-drone-cites-right-to-privacy][/url], a neighbor heard gunshots and called the police. Merideth allegedly told the police that a drone was hovering over his house, where his teen daughter (he has two) was sunbathing. So he pulled out his gun and gave it a merry death.
Merideth was arrested for wanton endangerment and criminal mischief.
Merideth says he will sue the drone's owners.
"You know, when you're in your own property, within a six-foot privacy fence, you have the expectation of privacy. We don't know if he was looking at the girls. We don't know if he was looking for something to steal. To me, it was the same as trespassing."
